Introduction

As the holiday season approaches, our lives become entangled in a whirlwind of shopping lists, party invitations, and the familiar jingle of bells. Yet, amid the chaos of the modern Christmas experience, it's all too easy to lose sight of the true spirit of the holiday. In this chapter, we embark on a journey to rediscover the essence of Christmas, unraveling its history and traditions to reconnect with the core values that make this season so special.
